Projects

  • Urban Lactation Project

    - Present

    The goal is to promote nursing in public through art & creating comfortable and welcoming public environments. The Urban Lactation Project (ULP ) was founded in order to promote the rights of women who choose to breastfeed in public. The first stage focuses on conveying information about breastfeeding through an art exhibit that includes various aesthetic genres such as poetry, graphic design, printing, music, photography, sculpture and painting. The event will be held from August 16-22, 2014…

    The goal is to promote nursing in public through art & creating comfortable and welcoming public environments. The Urban Lactation Project (ULP ) was founded in order to promote the rights of women who choose to breastfeed in public. The first stage focuses on conveying information about breastfeeding through an art exhibit that includes various aesthetic genres such as poetry, graphic design, printing, music, photography, sculpture and painting. The event will be held from August 16-22, 2014 in San Francisco, California.

    The inspiration for this project comes from a unpleasant experience I had this year with an employee of the Department of Motor Vehicles of San Francisco who not only said "That 's Nasty," but also asked me to go to the bathroom or car (on a very hot day), or anywhere but the bench that is located outside of the building. According to her, I was “exposing myself” (her words) and she just wanted to protect the public from that. I then realized I live in a city with amazing resources (latching, peer support, bitting, etc.), but I couldn’t find anyone doing public advocacy work. Based on this experience I decided to expand the project into a second stage that focuses on informing business owners about how important it is to generate comfortable and welcoming environments that encourage mothers to leave their homes with the assurance that they can breastfeed their babies on demand and as they return to their daily routines. Participating businesses will be given a sticker for their window so families can easily identify these places. We believe that positive experiences helps increase the number of months a mother chooses to nurse.
